What is Color Splash?

Our annual Color Splash party is wild, messy, colorful fun! 

At the Color Splash Party, participants splash colorful chalk all over one another by throwing “splash packs”. 

“Splash packs” are small porous muslin bags filled with colorful chalk powder. Color Splash party participants throw the “splash packs” at one another to cover each other in beautiful hues of color!

All Child tickets come with a t-shirt. Adults have the option of purchasing a ticket with or without the shirt in order to participate with their kiddos.

About Explore Children's Museum

Explore Children’s Museum opened on January 1, 2022 with a mission to provide meaningful opportunities, inspire participation in purposeful play, and promote lifelong learning. To accomplish our mission we create opportunities for individuals to take an active role in learning environments that inspire creativity, exploration, engagement, shared learning, collaboration, communication, critical thinking skills and fun.

“The first five years have so much to do with how the next 80 turn out,” said Bill Gates. Early educational opportunities are critical in shaping outcomes for our children. Federal, state and local governments invest so little in early childhood education, so the nonprofit sector tries to fill the gap. Explore Children’s Museum was created to do just that. Intended for children under 9 years old, our space offers 15 permanent and rotating interactive exhibits that cover a wide range of interests and skill sets. Each exhibit helps children develop executive function, problem solving, collaboration, creativity, self confidence, independence, and self-regulation. These are critical for lifelong success and must be intentionally developed.

We were developed and remain fully committed to the principle that early childhood education is critical for academic readiness and success, physical and mental health, and the development of children into adults who are prepared to meet the challenges they will face. 

All children should have access to opportunities to thrive. Our children are our collective future and we serve them, and our communities, best when we invest in them early in childhood.
